And if/when my current relationship (which is fizzling out) comes to an end -- there will be no rush to fill my time or date like crazy.
Do you want to talk about it?

I posted a long response last night, and poof! its not here.
I don't know what I did wrong!

Thanks DW.

I haven't been talking about this. I just feel kinda stupid for lingering in this for so long.

Its been crystal clear to me for at least 2 month that this relationship is going nowhere. So why am I still seeing him? Good question huh?

We get along GREAT day-to-day.
We just don't have the same long range plans and goals.

Aside from the marriage issue (I say a few years, he says 10 or more, maybe never) now a few more issues are appearing.

For example, I wanted to plan a trip this winter. With him.
Nope. Can't happen. Because he has already planned all 3 weeks of his vacation time for next year with guy trips.
So I don't get one single day of vacation time with him.

I just don't feel like being back in the dating world. So I guess I'm using him for companionship because I don't have the energy for getting "out there" again.

I can relate to what Anna is dealing with.
I just have no emotion left about it. I've already processed the break-up -- it just hasn't happened yet.

I'm really sorry Lexxxy. Even though you've processed it, I know it's still painful.

Big ((((hugs))) to you. You'll know when the time is right to end it completely
